Research Interests: Research in my lab focuses on quested related to adaptation and speciation in birds. Current project include investigating: 1) patterns of gene flow and introgression across avian hybrid zones; 2) patterns of functional differentiation within bird species with very broad breeding ranges (e.g. Tachycineta swallows); and 3) the influence of environmental variation on within species genetic variation and structure.
